General Overview of Experience The interview was a great experience. It starts the day before at the airport when you travel to Dallas. The CSA’s know you’re going to interview because of the type of positive space ticket you’re flying on. Keep that in mind. The interview is only a half day. I went in the morning. You begin in the people department and turn in your stacks of paperwork and logbooks. While they’re organizing it and making sure you brought everything, everyone takes turns getting fingerprinted. After that is complete, Rocky takes you to a conference room to give you a briefing of how the day is going to work and give you an overview of what’s going on with the company. After that is finished you’re taken to another building where they conduct the interview. They have a waiting room to hang out in and wait to be called for the various portions of the interview. The interview is three parts. 2 on 1 HR panel, logbook review, and the LOI. I did the logbook review first. This will be the lowest stress part of the day if you are organized and your logbooks are presented well. After they review it, they will ask a few HR type questions as well. I had the 2 on 1 panel next. This was very “relaxed” in my opinion. They truly want to get to know you, and it really just felt like a conversation between three people about myself. The last portion was the LOI. I won’t bore you with all the details, but this is the fastest 7 minutes of your life. There is no right or wrong, but you need to be able to make a decision based on the situation and the available information that you can gather, and be able to back it up. A BIG part of the LOI is the debrief that you will give to them. They want to see some humility and that you can admit your mistakes/faults and explain what you could have done better. After this was done, we met up with the afternoon group and took a tour of the training center, and that was it! Back to the airport to head home! Remember, your interview doesn’t end until you’re sitting in your car!
